Specs & details

Product details

The Jeep Hoist-A-Top is a must-have for Wrangler owners. The new Hoist-A-Top makes removing and storing a hardtop an easy, one-person job. The Hoist-A-Top supports any top with a well-balanced steel frame using the new Balance Blade™. Rubber coated hooks and foam-covered hardware will protect your top's finish. The Lange Hoist-A-Top uses an incredibly strong steel powder coated frame that quickly attaches to your vehicle top without any drilling. The rear Smart Hook™ allows you to lift and store your hardtop with the rear window closed, which improves the balance and takes up less storage space. This model also stores your Freedom Top pieces up and out of the way, with your back window closed with the patented Smart Hook. With the turn of the wrist this hoist will lift your top to the ceiling in your garage or carport for convenient, out-of-the-way storage.

Hoist-A-Top™ uses an incredibly strong steel frame that quickly attaches to your vehicle top. There is nothing to drill or attach to your top. A specially designed cable pulling mechanism then lifts your top to the ceiling in your garage or carport for convenient, out-of-the-way storage. It takes only about three minutes to remove your top, by yourself. Replacing it is just as easy. Hoist-A-Top™ is a complete turnkey system. Installation is simple and the system comes complete with excellent installation instructions. No more pulled muscles, strained backs, dropped or damaged tops, or pinched fingers. Best of all, you don't have to find a group of people to help every time! Hoist-A-Top™ is available with a manual or power lift. A Hoist-A-Top™ Power Unit upgrade is available for owners of the manual Hoist-A-Top™ who want the convenience of a power lift.

Great crank lift!

Easy to install. You'll need at least 1 2x6x8 that not included. I'm happy with it for the most part. I didn't think about how low it would hang. I put it were I could just back the jeep up and lower it but I've hit my head a few times.

Perfect for high ceilings

I have a shop with 16' side walls / ceilings. This worked great, although I did replace the cable included just to be able to sit the top all the way on the floor if I ever need to. The only issue I have is that it hangs just a touch out of level - not an issue with the 4 point lift systems, but it isn't really a big deal. I have no question that it is secure and it's definitely out of my way so I am completely satisfied with it so far.

Before you buy

Common questions

Is my ceiling too tall? Too short?

Our Hoists were designed for garages of all heights. Each garage is different. Just be sure to measure your space and use the lengths given above to calculate if there is enough cable for you.

How much space will I have below my top?

If you have the power unit mounted above your Jeep we recommend 12 inches of clearance from your ceiling to your hard top. If you have a crank unit or a side wall mount it's 8 inches from ceiling to the hardtop. (These are the measurements as if your top was lifted completely.) Add the height of your top to know how much clearance you will have.

Is it safe to leave my top suspended for long periods of time?

Yes. Hoist-A-Top can store your top all summer long. Double check that everything is mounted securely and all screws are tightened. Our units were designed with a self-locking mechanism. It will stay in place until you manually are lifting or lowering your top.

How much can this thing hold?

Our power unit can hold 400 Lbs. Our crank units can hold 440 Lbs. The Hoist-A-Cart can hold 200 Lbs.
